We utilize the RFW Time Machine to bring us back to a simpler time when these sounds were so much younger and we were so much older - then (I'm younger than that now). Travel backwards madly with Melanie, Delaney & Bonnie, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Strawbs, Procol Harum, The Move, Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen, The Beatles, Bee Gees, The Who and Pete Townshend!

"some came to sing, some came to pray"

RFW

* The Time Machine was the name of my Sunday Morning show that ran for many years in the 80s and 90s on the legendery KOME in the San Jose/San Francisco Bay Area. It was and this is my idea of what "Classic Rock" programing could be if done with passion, pride and knowlege. Thanks to the many listeners who still remember those fun old shows.

**The entire "Lay Down" set was inspired by a suggestion for Strawbs by Marc Miller - my dear friend, radio brother and partner in crime!

The Star Spangled Banner

By Francis Scott Key - 1814

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:

'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,

A home and a country should leave us no more!

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
